Fear
Fear, and facing your fear. That’s something I did yesterday. I never thought I would be afraid to lose what was at stake, after all it is just a hobby. But yesterday I realized it’s much more to me than just a hobby, it is a way of life, part of my life and if it were to be lost I would lose a part of my life.
My heart was pounding in my chest, my palms where sweaty and I was afraid to look, but I had to! A little voice in the back of my head kept telling me, if things go wrong you’re on your own, there will be no one to help you out. Not right away. Needles to say this made me more nervous but I decided to go ahead with it anyway.
The process was long, it seemed to take forever, and meanwhile I tried to distract myself by looking at something else. But it was like a scary movie; you’re scared but you still want to see what’s happening and you hope for a happy ending. If things were to go wrong there would be no way back, not until I managed to get a hold of someone to help me, and even that wouldn’t be a guarantee that things would turn out OK.
Now that it’s over I’m happy I did it, and it wasn’t as scary as I made it out to be. The fear of losing it all was uncalled for, at least this time. I’m happy and proud to say…. I upgraded my wordpress.

I upgraded my WordPress 
hi!
I’m feeling a little bit of anxiety while I’m reading the first part of your post because I really want to find out what’s your fear. Your writing style is incredible. I love it!
take care!
xoxo
Haha. Way to be brave. I hope you remembered to backup all your critical files, that should have made it a little bit less scary, because then you could always go back.
Sometiems I get a similar feeling when I get brave and see how far I can overclock my computer. I always feel a little apprehenshion that I could loose it all and have to spend money on a replacement.
Jeez, the first part of this post really freaked me out! I have to agree with the scary movie thing, you don’t want to look because you are absolutely terrified and yet you want to see what happens. I usually regret looking, I always turn around at the most horrible moments!
Anyway, congratulations on conquering your fear and upgrading worpress! I faced one of my own fears today! I installed, for the first time ever, wordpress! I said I was going to do it someday but I kept using the same old excuse: I’ll do it when I have more time. It may not seem like much but I consider it quite an achievement since this time last year I was on Piczo and couldn’t tell you what HTML was.
Haha, your post reminded me of those annoying chain letters where you think a girl is about to be deflowered by instead she has her tooth pulled out or something. Nice post!
I love upgrading WordPress though, it’s so simple and straightforward 
For some reason I thought you had an abortion or something. Lol! Actually, that’s not funny at all…

Yeah it was 2.0.6, if I were you I’d upgrade to .06 because it fixes some security things.
Congrats for the success =)! I know how that feels, I tried to upgrade for the 2.0.5 version but it went busted, and surely enough, they set out the latest version so I quickly tried again. It worked, thank-goodness ^_^;. Your posts are interesting, it kept me wondering what your ‘fear’ was.. =]
Congratulations! I upgraded right away too. I think the WordPress idea board is really cool – some pretty nice features are being discussed. I hope the next Major release will be really awesome!
Congratulations on upgrading your WordPress and braving your fear! I got a bit anxious when I read the first part of your entry but I’m glad everything turned out OK.
I really need to upgrade too but I have no idea how to back up my database, no intention to learn how to and… I have some entries in my blog that I love too much.
Others conquer their fear of dangerous animals, enclosed spaces, and Chans conquers her fear of….. *dun dun dun* WordPress. Nice going 
I’m kind of scared for you, 2.07 just came out, but don’t worry, it takes about 1 minute to upgrade, only 5 files were changed.

Hi Chans, thanks for visiting my site, yeah Jake is my boyfriend, the reason why I;m asking for his permission is because we’re going to a GAYBAR…hahah! you know, macho dancers in skimpy trunks and all?
And even if he doesn’t approve of it, I’d still go. hehehe.
I wonder what;s that fear you just conquered. Whatever that is, I’m proud of you, I hope I can do the same. =)
Happy weekend!
